Binface is running against Farage in the Clacton-on-Sea by-election (Picture: BBC) Count Binface has slammed a BBC journalist after he was asked to ‘bin off the bin’ on live TV. The political candidate appeared on Newsnight after declaring plans to run against Nigel Farage in the Clacton-on-Sea by-election. The Reform leader announced on Tuesday that he would be stepping down as MP for the region – only to run again for the same seat. Presenter Paddy O’Connell asked Binface to remove his headgear during the show – but the political candidate was having none of it. O’Connell said: ‘Why don’t you bin off the bin on Newsnight now? We know that your name is Jon, we know really a lot about you,’ adding: ‘Isn’t it time for serious times, to bin off the bin?’ To view this video please enable Java
